New and Distant Worlds – Journey to Outer Space and back through time to Prehistoric World while still battling Betrayus and his ghoulish army in Pacworld and Netherworld.

New Characters – Encounter new friends and enemies from Seasons 1 & 2 of the hit Animation Series.

New and Improved Power Ups – Enjoy enhanced power ups from the first game along with brand new power ups helping PAC become larger than life!

New Worlds. New Friends. New Power Ups. The gang is back! Following the colorful characters and world of the PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures animated series, PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures 2 will feature PAC-MAN, Spiral and Cylindria in an all-new storyline as they defend PacWorld from the ghoulish army of Lord Betrayus.

Certainly geared towards younger children and on the easy side but its a lot of fun.

The control scheme is simple and easy to pick up as its mostly a one-button game.

There are no immediately noticeable technical issues or major flaws. A well put together effort. It has the look and feel of the original Rayman, but a bit easier to play. There’s multiple paths to take and lots of stuff to collect in a slow paced well put together platforming experience. There’s a little less for the 2nd player to do as Woodstock, but kids could take turns or the least skilled game player could easily use the little bird buddy.

This would be great for any younger Peanuts or Snoopy fan.

The only downside is that it doesn’t seem to support the Wii U Pro Controller. Gamepad for Snoopy, Wiimote and Nunchuck for Woodstock.

For cyber Monday (11-30-15) best buy has this super cheap! I’ll update if Amazon matches!

It’s not bad. It’s better than a lot of movie tie-in games. But the best of the worst doesn’t make it good either… I’d say it’s ok which Amazon says is three stars. If your kids love the movie and you really want to get them something snoopy related, go for it! But when talking about Platform gaming on the Wii U, there are a lot of better options on this system! Yoshi’s Wooly World came out recently and is a much better platform game that will keep your kids busy for a lot longer! I’m not totally happy with this game, and I almost gave it three stars, but the price is lower than a full price game and I’m sure it’s going to drop in price after the holiday season.

The pros:-Good graphics: The graphics are rather generic (if you took the Peanuts characters out, you would have no idea this is a Snoopy game), but somebody put some effort into this! Every level looks completely different. The Jungle has a lot of leaves and rough barky textures! The Pyramid or Stone Temple looks like the whole thing is made out of interlocking stones. The Planet has craters everywhere. The sky is full of fluffy clouds–watch out for lightning when it strikes. And there The backgrounds are normally multi-layered with parallax effects.-Well animated: Snoopy looks so cute as he runs and his ears wave in the wind! If you stop for a second, he gets a big smile on his face (and eventually dances). There are different enemies in each level and they’re well animated too. Sometimes sound effects are verbalized like the “boink” you see when jump on enemies. I love the stars over Snoopy’s head when he gets hurt (and that a heart floats off that you can catch so you don’t “lose” a heart!).-Easy gameplay: It’s a game made for little kids and they can play it. It has the same difficulty level all the way through. I believe you can die, but I’ve never died so I don’t know what the lose screen looks like… 🙂 There are some alternate paths in the later levels that provide a little challenge but they’re optional (and I wouldn’t call them hard but harder). My younger ones would give up after the first few worlds of the New Super Mario games but they can play this through.-Two player co-op is perfect for the little sibling! They get to be Woodstock who can collect all the stupid beans that are a pain to collect otherwise… Woodstock can’t get hurt, there are special spots that you can’t activate without him, and if player 1 leaves him behind Woodstock instantly catch up!-The intro and ending are very cute (but short). I like the setting where everyone is playing hide and seek and you have to find all the Peanuts gang.

Cons:-short game. I beat it in about 2 hours. I think my son can do it in 3-4. The length feels like it should be a $20 game to me.-Pretty repetitive gameplay. They try to spice it up with vines, moving platforms, steam, etc. But if you’re a gamer you’ve seen all this so much that it’s pretty boring. The flying level spices things up a bit, but even all the flying levels play and look the same!

It’s not bad, but I would wait for a price drop. And if you don’t have many platform style games for the Wii U, there are options that are a lot better than this. I would Suggest Yoshi’s Wooly World and even Kirby’s Epic Yarn for the Wii for platform games for the younger gamer.

I love any kind of video game, so when I ordered this for my son I was excited. My son is eight years old and has Autism, he has a hard time playing most games because of the problem solving skills needed. The difficulty level in this game is just tough enough to make you think for a minute, but not impossible like some other childrens games. The cuteness level of this game is off the charts and the characters look exacty like they do in the new Peanuts movie. This game is two player so it allows your child to play with friends or you can play with your child if they need help. As an adult playing the game it can get a little redundant, but the cute factor pulls me back in. Im not a Peanuts fan by any means but I do like to play video games with my son. I have a hard time finding games that do not involve over the top realistic violence or adult themes. I am in no way trying to shelter my child but I feel that kids should be kids while they have the chance. There is plenty of time for war games and car theft games when they get older. This game is no where near the epicness of The Mario Brothers but it is a nice non violent game you can feel good about letting your kids play.

Callie & Marie are the breakout stars of Splatoon, so it’s no surprise that they finally got their own amiibo. The figures are the highest quality amiibo to date to my eye. They are immensely detailed, they sparkle, and the splashes coming out of the bases make them look like they’re dancing. Truly wonderful figures!

The in-game functionality of the figures is pretty limited. You’ll get a performance from the character to a choice song and the Splatoon lobby will be made up to look like a Splatfest is going on. There are no additional game modes, no cosmetic items for your inkling, or anything else. So do not buy these if you’re hoping for extensive functions in-game.

There are also Callie and Marie costumes in Mario Maker that these unlock.

So if you’re a huge Splatoon and amiibo fan, you’ll probably love these figures. If you only buy amiibo for what they do in game, then you may want to think twice. Still, these are a couple of the nicest amiibo available so it’s hard to go wrong here!

Amiibo functionality-wise, these amiibo are incredibly weak in my opinion. They unlock special in-game musical performances by the Squid Sisters, and that’s about it. While it looks and sounds nice at first, the amiibo don’t do anything else, which seems very shallow, especially compared to the original Splatoon amiibo.

That being said, the amiibo figures themselves look outstanding, and are the main reason I picked these up. I love their poses and the attention to details that they have. The price is also quite nice – 12.99+12.99 = 25.98, so you’re saving a little bit with these two being packaged together (this pack is 24.99).

In conclusion, if you are looking for substantial amiibo functionality, I’d skip these. If you are one who just likes the figures, definitely pick them up, especially if you’re a fan of Splatoon and the squid sisters.

I received this Callie and Marie pack as part of the simultaneous release of the Splatoon alternate colors pack.

Callie and Marie are 2 cool Squid Sisters, their figures look even more cooler! The attention to details in the sparklings on their clothing, the splashing inks at their base, and the subtle translucency at the tip of their hair strands (think the outer edge of your ear with a light coming from behind). Correct me if I’m wrong, I think this is a Amiibo first, right?

As for the Amiibo functionality, well, its limited as they only unlock special songs for the sisters… But for a Completionist in me, it is still a solid buy. 2 figures bundled in a lower price (compare to a single Amiibo at $14-15 range).

Like with the first Pac-man ghostly adventures game this one follows our beloved gluttonous lemon drop and his friends as they try to foil another plot by their ghostly nemesis and his bumbling lackeys. The levels designs are pretty much like the first though with a new added additions with some new background scenery and some different ghost enemies in the levels from those that can shoot lightning to armor wearing ghosts. The gameplay controls are the same as well both for the standard and power up functions though a little flashier and the ability to glide for a short while with the fire power up. The graphics are also pretty much the same from the previous so don’t expect to see any real difference in that department but this isn’t Shadows Of Mordor or anything so I think most weren’t expecting that anyway. Overall like most will feel the game is pretty much a Pac-Man version of Nintendo’s Super Mario games. One thing that’s a little frustrating is the lack of camera control meaning there isn’t any as the camera angles are controlled by the game which can be a little annoying sometimes as you like the ability to look around more.

The gamepad sadly like with the other game really has no function in the game except the ability to be use the gamepad screen to keep playing the game if you or somebody else wishes to use the t.v. for something else. Still for $40 the game is worth getting especially for any Pac-Man fan or just those looking for a more lighthearted type of game.

My son loves Pacman– and for $20 it was a great addition to his easter basket. He loves playing it and gets really excited when he’s playing it. Graphics are great and he seems to really enjoy all of the new levels and power berries. Really happy with it.
